It seems America could learn a lot from progressive Canada if not for many Americans arrogant – “We are number 1” - bullshit. Good thing Harpo has a minority government or the Conservative prick would have fucked this up too. Canada's Economy Grew 6.1% in First Quarter, Most in a Decade - BusinessWeek May 31 (Bloomberg) -- Canada’s economy expanded at the fastest pace in a decade in the first quarter, led by consumer spending and manufacturing, increasing pressure on the country’s central bank to raise interest rates tomorrow.

Brain, what the hell's wrong with you people up there? Do you WANT Al Gore comming up there SCREAMING at you for "killing the planet?" "You want to be rich, you NEVER want to be famous!" -Popeye- Oh sure, put it in the Newspapers why don't you; "CADILLAC SALES UP 6 PERCENT IN CANADA LAST MONTH!" "HOBOS HANDING OUT TEN DOLLAR BILLS!"

There is no reason for high optimism. Canada has serious structural problems like the housing bubble and high personal debt levels. Currently high commodity prices push exporters like Canada, Australia and others. Read for example about Canada housing situation: http://business.financialpost.com/2010/05/20/is-canadas-housing-bubble-about-to-burst/ High interest rates may push housing bubble over the edge. I live in North Vancouver. There are home sale signs everywhere.

Some of you kinkroids just refuse to believe that US is alone in our country's values and that other countries are more concerned about country and how economy serves society....not just the investor.

"Just what are...European terms anyway ?" I figured the "(ie accurate)" part of my post explained it pretty well. The Canadian economy did not grow 6% in the first quarter, it grew 1.5%. I was just pointing out how misleading the way a minority of nations report their economic growth is. I'm can't reply to the rest of your post as I don't even understand it.....
